Seaport Enhanced (Seaport-e)

Wolf participates in the United States Navy's SeaPort Enhanced Contractor Procurement Program (SeaPort-e)

SeaPort-e is a platform developed by the U.S. Navy to provide a means of issuing competitive solicitations among a diverse group of approved contractors.

Overview of Technical Depth & Breadth

Since 1977, Wolf Technical Services, Inc. has applied engineering expertise to safety-related technical challenges in aviation, motorsports, ground transportation, mechanical and electrical design, computer simulation, systems engineering, instrumentation, and testing. Wolf has many years of experience in forensic engineering and in analyzing the causes and effects of less-than-optimum designs. This has enabled the company to acquire a corporate proficiency in recognizing and avoiding faults and defects, in thorough troubleshooting throughout the design process, in structured and disciplined system analysis, and in sound systems engineering practices.

Within the last decade, the Wolf team began applying its engineering synergies in research and development for both military and commercial customers. Wolf has been successful in winning several SBIR contracts with all branches of the military, spanning topics such as sensor development, magnetically actuated restraint systems and digital flight gloves.

Wolf recognizes that any product put to use does not stand alone, but is part of some larger system, and its design should reflect comprehensive analysis of its role in and integration into that system. It is crucial to recognize the need to thoroughly understand and delineate system requirements at the onset of any project, and Wolf approaches all of its engineering activities from the standpoint of program requirements. Wolf believes all system requirements for projects need to be traceable back to the end user, and not just back to the drafting table.

The Wolf team has several decades of combined experience in forensics in analyzing vehicle dynamics, and the dynamics of occupants and payloads in vehicles. Wolf’s experience in these fields spans passenger automobiles, racing vehicles, and large trucks, as well as vehicles errantly becoming airborne. Wolf personnel have also been involved in analyzing the dynamics of air vehicles, including small aircraft, cruise missiles, and other autonomous air vehicles. The team has a breadth of testing and flight test experience of military guidance systems and other military systems and has instrumented air vehicles and ground vehicles to collect acceleration and inertial data that characterize vehicle dynamic performance. Two of the Wolf team, Mr. James Sobek and Mr. Jon Carr, jointly hold the patent for the Digital Scene Matching Area Correlator (DSMAC) guidance system that flies in the Tomahawk cruise missile.

The personnel outlined above are only a small representation of the talented and experienced employees at Wolf. Wolf is a small business according to the requirements of the SBA and employs 22 people while maintaining a contractor relationship with an additional 13. Wolf has also worked on thousands of contracts to deliver products and services to more than 4,000 clients. The company has strong ties to local universities, state and local government agencies, and commercial businesses to provide unique problem solving solutions on all its projects.

Under the DoD, Wolf has been awarded several contracts that have resulted in successful development of hardware systems. One of Wolf’s contracts was sponsored by the Air Force Research Laboratory to develop a restraint system for mobile aircrew to protect them in the full range of dynamic flight environments while allowing the necessary freedom of movement during normal flight conditions. (Helicopter Aircrew Restraint, contract FA8650-05-M-6560, 15 April 2005-15 January 2006.) This successful effort led to the award of a contract to continue development of the improved restraint system. (Helicopter Aircrew Restraint, contract FA8650-06-C-6615, 30 March 2006-30 March 2008.) Wolf was able to not only meet, but far exceed the program requirements of these contracts. The effort culminated in the fabrication of several design models of fully functional restraint systems that were performance tested by aircrews during Air Force/Army Patriot flight exercises in July 2008. Test results showed that Wolf’s restraint, the Universal Mobile Aircrew Restraint System (UMARS), successfully met the major objectives of the program: adaptive restraint protection and freedom of crew movement.

As a follow on to UMARS, Wolf was awarded NAVAIR contract N00019-09-C-0098 in September of 2009 to develop a Common Mobile Aircrew Restraint System (CMARS), a self-contained six-pound unit that can be readily mounted to the floor, ceiling or sidewall of the aircraft. CMARS contains a battery powered electronics suite that senses aircraft acceleration and belt velocity. The crew member attached to the safety belt is allowed to complete freedom of movement under normal conditions with the safety belt extending or retracting as the crew member moves about the cabin. CMARS will lock if an acceleration limit is reached, such as in a hard landing or a crash, or in the event that a crew member would fall, preventing further extraction of the safety belt. This significantly improves the probability that the crew member will remain within the aircraft, thus reducing the chance of serious injury or fatality.

Quality Assurance Program (Q A P) Wolf Technical Services, Inc. received ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System (QMS) Certification (No. 5139, Eagle Registrations, Inc.). The scope of registration comprises the design, development, test and oversight of the manufacturing of products for military and commercial applications. Wolf’s quality objectives consist of customer satisfaction, retaining and recruiting professional and competent employees, adherence to proven processes, and maintaining a continuous improvement culture that is committed to innovation.

The professionals working with Wolf and its subcontractors are committed to continuous improvement of communication, milestone tracking, technology development, quality assurance, timely delivery, and fiscally responsible contract management.

Wolf has a history of more than 34 years of meeting or exceeding specific deadlines and delivering work product and contract deliverables in a timely and cost-efficient manner. In each U.S. government contract to date, Wolf has met all deadlines and has stayed within budget to meet or exceed the government expectations for the contracts. Wolf utilizes a phased engineering approach to meet small milestones that lead to larger contract requirements. Since this approach requires frequent assessment of progress, the Wolf Research and Development group has current status of work in progress available when needed. The engineers working on these contracts contribute to these interim milestones and to the reporting necessary to keep accurate and current project-specific time and budget records.
